@@nolanbaker2360 Agreed. If you move a little too slow and it gets too cold, you just have liquid raw egg. The pot can go back on the heat for just a moment to allow the sauce to come together while tossing. Easy fix. Just save some pasta water first.

Purists LOL... A dish is about what you enjoy. There are dozens of variations of many recipes. You are not forced to love some so called original recipe that may have a dozen variations you like better. Make it the way you like it and stay out of the rabbit hole that some 'original recipe and method' is the only way to prepare a dish. Like stew, put in it what ever makes you happy. If you and your family or guests like it; bingo, you have a winner. Vincenzo can make it what ever way he wants and I will make it whatever way pleases me. 🙃
@@jordanpulciani1526 Thanks for the heads up! Hard cheeses such as pecorino and parmesan contain little to no lactose compared to soft cheeses like mozzarella, brie, burrata, etc.
@@stephenseyer4715 I think alot of people don't know this, after 2-3 months it's most likely fine. If you wanna go the safeway take 6 months. Parmigiano Reggiano becomes your best friend and pecorino is most likely still fine, cheeses with above 3 years taste like another level anyways.
@@howru33666 The only thing he needs to stop is messing up a cultures dish. And making it look unrecognizable. That’s what he needs to stop. It’s disrespectful to other cultures.
Putting the guanciale oil in the mixture first and making an emulsion out of it almost like a mayo, then putting the pasta in the bowl and making a bain marie with the boiling water will elevate the carbonara to a carbonara 2.0
How i learned how to make a proper Carbonara : I watched Gordon Ramsey video. There i learned everything i should not do. then with the comments and reactions videos i learned everything. Thats such a simple dish do make
That's a solid way of crushing peppercorns. Especially since he said to keep it kinda big pieces. I dont have a mortar n pestle, and the grinder makes it tiny.
This is the first carbonara that I made that came out perfect thank you this is an awesome recipe. The key was to add some of that pasta water to the egg mixture that did it.❤
This guy is amazing with a great personality and his foolproof cooking techniques, full with tips! I want to try all of those recipes 101. Bravo et bon Appetit 😊😋👌👏
I made carbonara for the first time using Frank's tips and let me tell you that was the best carbonara I've ever had. If you want to test it out, it is totally worth it. Thank you Frank!
Incredibile, dopo decine di versioni imparo la versione più corretta da un americano! Bravo complimenti. Però ricorda di non mettere sale, pecorino e guanciale sono molto salati, rischi sia immangiabile. In Italia usiamo solo un tuorlo per persona, con più commensali un tuorlo per persona più un uovo intero per la padella, e 70/80 grammi di pasta per ciascuno, il tuo condimento è per ameno 4 persone.
I’d love to know which of the multitude of carbonara recipes on Epicurious he’s using. It would be nice to know the exact amounts of the various ingredients.
This type of sauce clings way better to dry pasta than to fresh pasta. Pasta is a lot more diverse and complicated than you might think at first glance.
Loved the way you made this look so easy to look and cook. I have never had carbonara and avoid due to the fact that the eggs wouldn't be cooked and eggy smell might drive me off.
I like the adding everything to the bowl and mixing! I usually put the pasta in the pan, gonna try your way next time. and total props for using guanciale!! I've seen way too many folks using bacon. Pancetta is acceptable if you can't find the guanciale. you can't beat the flavor of that pig cheek.
Every house in Brazil has pasta, eggs, Bacon and some cheese, but carbonara isn't a common recipe (I made a carbonara a few weeks ago, and after this video i wanna do it again)
Recipe was closest to what I want, probably would only use egg yolks and add a hint of red pepper. Great recipe for those starting to find their own flavor and personalizing to their wants.
In some supermarkets you can find a product near the bacon labeled Pork Jowl (cheek) or similar. Guanciale is jowl, but it's not smoked. American Jowl is almost always smoked like bacon. I kinda perfer it to bacon.
Hey frank..a lil bit question to u..if a muslim person like me want to cook this carbonara with your recipe ..what ingredients are the most suits to replace the guanchale?.. im sorry to ask but we just dont eat any part of pigs
IMO...yes, it will still be very tasty. Guanciale is not always easy to find, even in the 4th largest city in America. Pancetta would be more authentic substitue than bacon, but most everyone has some bacon laying around and it will still be delicious. Guanciale is not smoked, and bacon is, so it will impart a bit of a smokey flavor, is main difference.
I put my mixing bowl over my cooking pasta to temper the eggs like a double boiler. Is there a secret to stopping it cooling too fast, if always feel like it's room temperature by the time I'm halfway through eating it?
Scarf it down faster! 😂😂. Try eating it in a bowl that would help. On a plate there is more surface area so it cools faster, in a bowl it'll stay hotter longer
Egg yolks begin to coagulate (set) at 144° so as long as the pasta or heated bowl doesn't reach that temp once the egg-cheese mixture are introduced, the dish will stay hotter for a longer period of time and not "scramble" the eggs (OK, ruin) the dish. 😋 This is an absolutely terrific video. 👏 ❤
definitely warm your pasta plates - it's what they do in the restaurants, and it's a game changer when it comes to keeping your food hot for considerably longer. Adam ragusea has a great video on the best and worse ways to warm your plates.
What pans are they? I’m looking for some decent steels ones (annoyingly i have induction hobs, not gas), and am torn between stainless and carbon steel pans…. Any input as to best type (or brand) to go for??
He used a mix of Parmigiano and Pecorino because we are not accustomed to the overpowering taste of Pecorino here in the states. The Parm helps soften the powerful taste of the Pecorino.
New to your channel here,some people are not fan with eggs,so I add a little bit of cream to give carbonara texture silky,I did exactly your cooking preparation by frying,the black pepercorn,then crust to mix into eggs,cheese mixture before adding my pasta,also with my fried guancale, I add white wine to infused a better taste on the course of frying the meat,add garlic powder and parsley,thats my version of this dish.
I keep trying to make carbonara and I keep failing, it will come out looking like it should but it just doesn’t taste like a restaurant. I follow the instructions perfectly. This is one of the dishes that I will always order in a restaurant.
My foolproof technique would be to have Frank Proto come to my house and make it.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think mixing everything in bowl makes this dish much easier, I had a experience of fail this because of overcooked egg. great simple tip!
I personally use the pot I cooked the pasta in, the pot is more annoying to wash but I can really toss it and get lots if air in it. Very very creamy

This is the first time I’ve seen a chef mix everything in the bowl. I always did that and it always turned out great. It’s a much easier technique!
You should watch luciano monosilio make it, looks way creamier than this one
Me too.
Never mixed in the egg/cheese bowl. Think I will try that next time.
Awesome! I’ve always finished the mixing in the pan but am going to do it in the bowl. Thanks for the tip!

Careful about the salt level in the water, especially with carbonara it should be lower than usual and definitely not sea salty
Yes, because there's already lots of salt in the guanciale and the cheese
I never thought to put everything in the egg/cheese mixture - have always put the pasta in the pan. This video is brilliant.

Mixing in the bowl is a cool tip, especially if you’re afraid of moving quickly and mixing vigorously if it were in the pan
We love Chef FRANK!
I was waiting on chef Frank to bring out the big cheese wheel like he had Emily do with that recipe 😆
That dish and the teaching lesson are both exceptional!!! Thank you Chef!
I’d love to know which of the multitude of carbonara recipes on Epicurious he’s using. It would be nice to know the exact amounts of the various ingredients.
Is this the first time that Frank made a pasta dish and he didn't make fresh pasta?
This dish is supposed to use dry pasta.
This type of sauce clings way better to dry pasta than to fresh pasta. Pasta is a lot more diverse and complicated than you might think at first glance.
What the other two said. For something like this dry pasta is much better.
Thank you, Chef Frank!
He's a maestro...period!!!
Thank you, Chef🎶
Technique > quantity of ingredients.
Well, obviously.
Why would more ingredients be better?
That looks easy and doable and delicious. Thank you
Yummy 😋 That looks delicious! I have never made a carbonara. Definitely want to try this!
I'm surprised, a recipe I can actually follow
I love the way you teach, very clear and understanding 💯👍

So happy you didn't break out the cream, i do a version of this, and being lazy i'll buy pre-grated cheese but i do like to use 2.

Carbonara - a simple but expensive pasta
Looks absolutely delicious, but also absolutely cardio-devastating !
He is the only other chef I seen other than Marco Pierre White who mix it all in a bowl. I think that speaks a lot to their expert level.
Take a shot everytime mr frank says 'guintala'
He ain’t just a chef, he’s a teacher.
Does anyone know how much cheese to use for the recipe? I don't believe he states an amount, so I was wondering

I don't see any measurements of ingredients beyond the number of eggs used. I'd like to see them before attempting this method.
Go to Frank Protos youtube channel, about 3 years ago he went through ingredients and measurement. It is my go to when making this dish.
Heard you should try to keep any burnt particles at the base of the oil in the pan when pouring the oil out into the pasta as it’s bitter
I just make a hybrid of Cabonara, Cacio e Pepe & pasta alla gricia as 1 dish
Recipes often incorporate some starch in the cheese mixture to increase the heat tolerance. Do you have an opinion on that?
Why not use a mortar and pestle??

Hi, I can't find the recipe for this on my Epicurious app. Can someone help a sister out please?
If I can eat eggs, but not meat, what would I substitute the pork with if I wanted to make this?
Maybe butter mushroom
I have heard that crispy tempeh cubes are quite tasty. Not sure about the texture, though.
Caramelized shallots
Zucchini. Dice them not too small, fry them in vegetable oil and toss them in when pasta and eggs&cheese are well combined. It's delicious!
